RTXC RTOS Supports Freescale MPC55xx Microcontrollers

The RTXC RTOS, from Quadros Systems, now supports the MPC55xx series of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) from Freescale Semiconductor. Developers can now combine the efficiency, flexibility, and scalability of the RTXC software family with the low-cost, high performance MPC55xx family. The RTXC Quadros RTOS was ported to the MPC5534 using Freescale CodeWarrior for MPC55xx v2.3 toolchain. A Freescale MPC5534EVB Revision D evaluation board from Axiom Manufacturing was used as the qualification platform.

MPC55xx Features Support by RTXC RTOS

INTC (Interrupt controller)

DEC (Decrementer)

SPE (Signal Processing Extension)

FIT (Fixed Interval Timer)

eMIOS (enhanced Modular Input Output Subsystem)

eSCI (enhanced Serial Communication Interface)

SWI (SoftWare Interrupt)

FMPLL (Frequency Modulated Phase Locked Loop)

The MPC55xx is based on Power Architecture technology. On-chip integration features up to 1 MB of embedded flash memory and 64 KB on-chip static RAM. The MPC55xx family is well-suited for any developer that commands complex, real time control at a low cost. This series of microcontrollers is tailored specifically for industrial and automotive applications.
